Finishing Foreman / Finishings Manager - High-spec residential finishes
Watford, Hertfordshire
Permanent (or temp/perm)
Start ASAP
Salary - circa £40,000 - £45,000 or Daily rate equivalent

This understated, and perhaps hidden gem of a company, is an award residential developer with a long-standing history of delivering luxury developments in North London and the Home Counties.

There is an immediate opportunity for an experienced finishings manager (finishing foreman) to assist a site manager in the delivery of an existing project. The scheme comprises 35 new build £1m + houses and some high-spec apartments.

The development has a lot of properties - currently at 1st fix - which will need to be taken right through to completion; with a particular emphasis on high-end finishes to the bathrooms, toilets and kitchens.
With a number of units just starting to be plastered, the finishing foreman / finishing manager would be expected to take the properties from 1st fix, supervise all the relevant trades, sign off all the trades, do short-term programmes, completion, testing and finally handover.

Upon completion of this project, the company has very good continuity of work, and there is a high potential of career progression for the right person. This is a niche role, so they are looking for someone with a particular set of skills, and eye for finishes, but above all a good way of dealing with people.

Contracts Manager - Office Fit-Out
Swindon
Temporary
Minimum 16 weeks
Start ASAP

My client is workplace design and build expert, with over 21 years' experience in the industry. This £6m turnover refurbishment company specialises in a variety of sectors, from workplace design, fit out, to dilapidations and relocations for business across the UK. Their projects range from £20k to £2.5m.

The company is currently looking for a Contracts Manager to assist with a particularly challenging project. This is a relatively small company so this role would suit someone who isn't always indulged with the help of multiple staff (aka the larger fit-out contractors), and who enjoys an autonomous role with experienced people to lean on, as and when needed.

The project itself, has an existing site manager, and the company is looking for an experienced contracts manager to offer operational support.

This is fit-out of an existing 7-floor office block in Swindon. Some of the floors have already been completed by different contractors, and this company will be carrying out the fit-out of several floors; some partially occupied, and some empty. As much as the work is relatively straight forward - 1st fix, taking down ceilings, partitions, plant rooms etc. the environment and client makes it a challenge.

The contracts manager would need to be very knowledgeable, calm and on the ball at all times. This is a difficult client, so a solid understanding of contracts is essential. For example; hours that drilling is allowed, dust, noise, out of hours work etc. No variations unless signed VO's are in place.
